Cisco Catalyst 3850-24P-L - Managed Layer 3 24-port Gigabit Ethernet Power over Ethernet Plus Switch, Black, Grey

The Cisco Catalyst 3850-24P-L is a Layer 3 access switch designed for campus and branch networks. It features 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports that provide both data connectivity and PoE+ power to connected devices over standard cabling. With a switching capacity of 88 Gbit/s, it manages high-volume data transfers across connected devices. Built-in IP routing handles local traffic to reduce the processing load on core network infrastructure, while the stackable architecture allows administrators to scale capacity as requirements change.

This 1U-high unit fits into standard 19-inch racks. It offers a total Power over Ethernet budget of 435 W, sufficient for equipment such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. Network administrators can segment traffic using up to 4,000 VLANs and apply Access Control Lists (ACLs). Quality of Service (QoS) protocols prioritize latency-sensitive applications—such as voice and video—to maintain performance during peak usage. The switch supports standard management protocols, including SNMPv1, v2c, and v3.

• Hardware-based IP routing with a capacity of 24,000 routing entries for Layer 3 traffic management.
• 32,000-entry MAC address table for environments with numerous connected endpoints.
• System memory consisting of 4,096 MB DRAM and 2,048 MB of flash memory.
• 802.1x RADIUS support for port-based access authentication.
• Mean time between failures (MTBF) of 269,450 hours.
